In DetailEasy To Use

Multiple SizesMegashor is manufactured in nine lengths, 5400, 4500, 2700, 1800, 900, 450, 270, 90 and 15mm so a prop of any length can be created.

CompatibilitySuper Slim Soldier's provide restraint for Megashor. It's available in nine lengths, 3600, 2700, 1800, 900, 720, 540, 360, 180, 90mm, allowing a tower with almost any plan dimensions to be constructed.

QualityRMD's quality assured manufacturing process, ensures consistent and accurate fabrication, resulting in good assembly alignment on site, saving time and labour costs.

SimpleA 15mm thick end plate is welded to each end of Megashor leg, forming an overall section of 290 x 280 mm. These end plates have six 22mm holes, which are used to bolt the Megashor legs end to end, using 4 or 6 M20 x 60 bolts and nuts.

IntegrationAlong the length of each channel, is a regular arrangement of 21mm punched holes for fixing bracing members to. At 900mm centres, in both the batten plates and pressed channels are twin 18mm holes, into which Superslim Soldiers are bolted.

Added StrengthSuperslims are used as lateral restraint members and form the equipment into square or rectangular towers and grids. Either single or a combination of support towers can be formed in this way. Superslim Soldiers are bolted at node points using 2 x M16 x 40 Grade 8.8 bolts and nuts.
